Now that kivio uses KoRuler, I wanted to revisit this again... however kivio 
hangs on startup for me.  

Originally, when I wanted to add guides to Krita, Kivio rulers seemed like the 
way to go.  They supported more types of measures (no longer true it seems), 
furthermore the placing of the text looked more "spiffy" when zooming out to 
say something like 1/16.

Again, I only compared the rulers when using KWord vs Kivio.  It's quite 
possible KoRuler supports more options for text layout.

It seemed to me that KoRuler looked better for applications whose contents are 
text while koCanvasRuler for those who weren't.

Another thing that bottered me with a vertical KoRuler, (again this is based 
on observations of KWord, it doesn't mean it holds true for KoRuler) was that 
text was displayed horizontally.
